How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and building small actions that align with those values. It helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life transitions by teaching acceptance and committed action. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns formed early in life and how they show up now. It helps people improve trust, communication, and emotional regulation in close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review symptoms, goals, and preferences and recommend which methods to emphasize. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to focus on skill-building, processing attachment wounds, or a mix of strategies.
Confirm the session formats before booking. Practical benefits of working remotely include fitting appointments around work or caregiving, shorter check-ins when needed, and fewer travel demands. Online work can make it easier to use written exercises, screen-shared worksheets, and behavioral homework between sessions. Speak with the therapist at intake to confirm which session formats are currently offered and to plan how therapy will fit into everyday routines.
